Do you find time to talk to your neighbors?

I don't often talk to my neighbors. I don't have time to go out and talk to them and I also know that they have no time to do that as they are also busy working. Except for my neighbor who owns a store so I see them everyday, my other neighbors are too busy like me and I rarely see them except their maids. I would rather just say hi to my neighbors and go on with my work.

Yes, I always talk to my neighbors, if we are willing to talk to complete strangers how much more to our neighbors. It is best to have a good relationship to our neighbors because apart from our relatives and friends, they are the one who can help us in times of troubles. For example, if you encounter difficulty in your house and nobody to turn to to ask for some help, your neighbors are the nearest lifeline you can grasp to. Besides, Jesus said that whatever we do to our nearest neighbor, we do unto Him, so if we won't love our neighbors, it just like we don't love Christ.

I will talk to most of them if I see them, but not a whole lot. But, I know who they are even if they don't really know me. I live in an apartment building that's like an old Spanish home with a courtyard. I can see everyone coming and going and I know what kind of cars they drive, what their friends or kids look like and other things about them. It's not hard to find out their names because they have a listing in the lobby, plus you can hear everything in this building, so it's not hard to hear someone's name now and then.

I rarely talk to our neighbor except when she takes her dog and monkeys out for a walk. Sometimes we just wave at each other. She's nice though and her monkeys are really cute.

I had a nosy neighbor so I see her all the time. But I do say hi and ask whether they need help because one of my neighbor is a deserted parents. Me and my brothers always give them food or say hi every day just to see how they are doing. There was once when we found them lying one the floor fainted. I don't want to see that thing happen to them again.

I never talk to my neighbors. I dont even know their names. If I need something, I have a bunch of friends I can rely on.
